You were Cc'd on the previous round of review...

I was referring to the above change.
However, having discussed with Will Deacon and checked the manuals, I
think the change is okay after all: the auxillary control register is
banked on secure parts, and the bit we'll be trying to change will be
read-only in non-secure mode - and importantly won't fault.
So, the change is fine, thanks.
